Noticed this today during my pre work tank check. My mantis has a polyp with two mouths!

After looking at passion flowers and eye of rah I'm sure they are not mantis. But yes still has two mouths. This colony is going into my display soon. In my frag tank right now.
 

How much do you care about having a display FREE of wires, pumps and equipment?
